Hey folks - please share this far and wide. A dear friend is organising a digital charity zine with "messages of welcome and resistance". She's inviting responses of all mediums: written, visual art, audio, etc, messages of kindness and welcome to folks seeking safe harbour on our shores (1/3)

Call for submissions: Charity zine for migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.

Deadline October 20th.

“A Stranger is Just a Friend We Haven’t Met Yet”
Messages of welcome and resistance.

Convened by Selina Shaw: selinashawstories@gmail.com / @shawberrytart on ig.

Islands, including the UK, are crossing places in the sea. We have a role and identity as islanders to uphold. We dishonour our heritage and our ocean by denying arrivals to our shores. Coasts are a gift that let us take in new life. That comes with the responsibility to give safety. We are a nation of harbours and lighthouses. “A Stranger is Just a Friend We Haven’t Met Yet” will gather messages of welcome for migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers, sharing kindness, joy, and protest against brutality. It hopes to tell our friends that they deserve a home with us and xenophobes that they don’t speak for us.

All art forms welcome, as long as they can be digitally captured. Simple greetings and letters are also encouraged if you aren't feeling creative.

In support of Refugee Action and the RNLI. Out of love for our island and our friends.
